Doug Liman's Fair Game tells the story of Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts), a CIA spy whose identity was leaked by the government as payback for a 2003 op-ed piece New York Times piece her husband (Sean Penn) wrote criticizing the Bush administration. This well-made biopic features strong performances (especially by Penn) and keeps a fast-pace, but suffers a little by skimming over some of the key details in the saga. More admirable than riveting, Fair Game is well-worth the cost of a rental, but should have been a bit longer.
